PhpDig.net - View Single Post - Indexing cookie/session authenticated pages

tester · 01-08-2004, 05:34 PM

Hello,

We have installed phpdig 1.6.5 and are facing a problem indexing authenticated pages on our site (More than half the pages on our site use cookie-based authentication). The indexer just ends up accessing publicly accessible pages.

We've looked through the code for spider.php and robot_functions.php and found many references to cookie related functions (such as phpDigMakeCookies()), but haven't been able to enable them.

Is there any documentation for this? Or could someone provide the steps for providing cookie information.

Some background info: Users are authenticated on our site using only a username/password combination provided through a login form on the pages. No pages are .htaccess protected.

Thanks!
